A call to action [plans] for cyclic vomiting syndrome.

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a disorder of gut-brain interaction which has a wide clinical spectrum. Clinical action plans have been developed to address and to facilitate treatment in the setting of complex, chronic medical conditions. The CVS Action Plan was developed to meet the chronic and acute care needs of children and adults with CVS. While this tool has not been tested for clinical efficacy as was shown with action plans for functional constipation, anecdotal and indirect evidence supports its use. The CVS Action Plan has the potential to enhance outcomes by simplifying home management and streamlining disease recognition and acute care in the emergency department.
